Splendid Crops.

Tribune, Sunday: The Rev. William F.
Cook has returned from Emmons county,
where he has been during the past week,
and brings most encouraging report of
the crops IN that section. he states that
the wheat will average 19 bushels per
acre ; barley will 90 about 20, and oats
from thirty to forty bushels. The vege-
tables are the best that are raised on
earth, and millet is the best he has ever
seen. Mr.. Cook states that his uncle,
Mr.. E. G. Packer, is cutting grain which
will yield fully as good as tho figures
given. and that Farmer Gregory has a
field of millet which will yield four tons
per acre. Two or three tons per acre is
considered good, fair crop 4; but the
Emmons County fields are beyond all
expectations.

What 1t Costs to Fence.

To fence square field of ten acres res
qulres 16o rods of fencing 80 acres IN
same shape, 452 rods, and 100 only $40
rods. Allowing post every three rods,
1t will take 2e8 posts, which at Is cents
apiece would cost $31.25. Where wire
weighs one pound to the rod it would
take 1920 pounds to put up three-wire
fence around 100 acres, which at cents
per pound would make the cost for wire
$76.8O, or total cash outlay for posts
and wire of $10805. If the price of wire
or posts is higher or lower than the prices
given here, the cost of a fence can be
easily figured eut.--[Ex.

the cry of fire arose, which resulted
in a general stampede. Six insane

I7.-Yesterday morning, after the
robbers murdered Mr.. Ryan, near
Walton, Roane county, and robbed
the house, 900 citizens started out
on the hunt for them and found
them at George DufT's residence,
eight miles from Sisonville. They
had barricaded the house and fitted
up port They warned the
pursuing party to keep off, but they
were fired upon. In the fight that
followed George Duff, Jr., was
killed and Jake Coon captured and
lynched. Five officers and citizens
were wounded. r. NJ. Daft,
George Drake, and Frank Sham
bling are prisoners, who will prob
ably be disposed of by Judge

killed Rev. Thomas p. Ryan and

There are about twenty in the gang
and many robberies have been
committed of late. 1t is thought
complete confession will be made

1t is said that at the recent session
of the Michigan Conference at Bay
View, many interesting chapters in
the history of the prohibition strug-
gle of last spring were recited, and
although temporary defeat was re-
luctantly admitted yet there was
expressed on all sides a determine
ton to keep the question agitated
and to secure resubmission as soon
as possible.
The newest and most effective
device at AZ Bible House, the head
quarters of Miss Julia Colman, is a
testing apparatus to demonstrate
the presence of alcohol in wine,
beer, cider, medicines, etc. This is
especially helpful in the juvenile
temperance work. 1t attracts the
boys, awakes new interest in their
studies, and helps them to under.
stand what they are studying. At
the recent Christian convention in
New York, half hours talk on
juvenile temperance work illustrat-
ed by experiments, elected great
enthusiasm.

or two since we received a letter
from a young friend at school, we
thought the cider devil must be like
a Jack in the box ready to bob up
at any time. But this is what she
wrote:
